Ships from China’s newly formed coast guard remained in the Japanese-controlled waters for the longest time since Japan bought the islands last year, Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said. Japan’s Foreign Ministry summoned a Chinese diplomat and ‘sternly protested,’ he said. The Chinese action around the islands comes two days after Japan unveiled the largest military ship it has produced since World War II.”
